When it comes to Holiday Gift Guides, Thirty-One Gifts is the perfect place to start.

Thirty-One Gifts is an independent sales company that sells cute bags, organization tools, purses, totes, and more.  They can monogram everything, and every product has a choice of fabric and colors.

I’ve been an admirer of Thirty-One for a long time, but never had a chance to work with them before.  I recently met a local Thirty-One independent saleswoman, Becky Hadley, who taught me more about the company and gave me a piece to review.

For my review, I chose one of their most popular products, the Organizing Utility Tote.  This is spacious bag that is great for organizing things around the house, but it also works for on-the-go.  Besides the large inner pocket, it has 7 outer pockets which make it perfect for organizing collections.

The Organizing Utility Tote comes with a choice of 16 different prints, and I chose the Black Parisian Pop.  I chose not to have mine monogrammed, but they look great with a monogram on the front, in any color of your choice.

Because there are so many things I can use this tote for, I had a hard time deciding; lots of things in my house need organizing!  I finally settled on using it for my sewing supplies.  I happen to have a tiny little sewing machine that fits perfectly into the tote with plenty of room to spare, which I used for my box full of threads, bobbins, and extra needles.  The side pockets come in handy for all the extras – scissors, measuring tape, pins, extra fabric, and my current sewing projects.

Having my sewing kit in my Organizing Utility Tote makes everything easier.  I don’t have a regular sewing station, so I can just carry the tote to wherever I feel like working on my sewing projects.  Even better, it’s so portable that I can bring it out with me anywhere I go!  Luckily my sewing machine can also run on battery, so I can work on my projects wherever I go.

Thirty-One Gifts has something for everyone, and just peeking into the catalog will give you tons of unique gift ideas for everyone on your list.  If you’re interested in getting FREE products and earning an income from home, Thirty-One is also a great company to start a home business with.  I’m all for moms making an income on their own terms, so I recommend checking out becoming a team member or hosting a party.

If you decide to order from Thirty-One Gifts this Holiday Season, I highly recommend ordering from Becky Hadley.  She currently has mostly local customers, and she would love to branch out online.  I love supporting small businesses in my neighborhood, and it would make me so happy to see her business grow!  Thank you!
